Just in case some of you think I have an agenda (besides doing what’s best for all students, teachers, and schools), I asked ChatGPT: WHO would be affected the most if the Department of Education was abolished. So, here’s what AI thinks…

Being a Teacher of the Year means developing & supporting programs that not only celebrate great teachers, but also empower them to elevate their voice & influence. What an exciting day to name a TOY at my new school home! And boy is Christy Humphrey INCREDIBLE!! 🥰

Congratulations to teacher of the year, @Missytesterman, a long-time elementary school teacher in Rogersville, Tennessee.

She says she loves getting “to unlock the love of learning in students” — and gets some very special surprises from her former students.

A little late to the #WednesdayWisdom game, but my teacher mom and dad always impressed upon me how important it is to remember that entire nations are built on the shoulders of teachers. So grateful to them and to be able to share how much I #loveteaching!

'Very troubling vote in Florida and their new and separate "standards" for teaching black history. Why parents (voting citizens) think this is accurate or helpful to their communities eludes me. Take a look: DeSantis' state Board of Education approves new rules for teaching African American history https://t.co/w4OyJVgJlK via @usatoday
